Deciphering acoustic emission signals in drought stressed branches: the missing link between source and sensor [PDF]
, 2015 When drought occurs in plants, acoustic emission (AE) signals can be detected, but the actual causes of these signals are still unknown. By analyzing the waveforms of the measured signals, it should, however, be possible to trace the characteristics of ...
